Bilangan 21:24

21:24 But the Israelites ⁴  defeated him in battle ⁵  and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the Ammonites, for the border of the Ammonites was strongly defended.

[19:16]  ¹ tn The expression for “in the open field” is literally “upon the face of the field” (עַל־פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה, ’al pÿne hassadeh). This ruling is in contrast now to what was contacted in the tent.

[19:16]  ² tn Heb “a dead body”; but in contrast to the person killed with a sword, this must refer to someone who died of natural causes.

[19:16]  ³ sn See Matt 23:27 and Acts 23:3 for application of this by the time of Jesus.

[21:24]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “Israel,” but the verb is plural.

[21:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “with the edge of the sword.”
